On Greenland, generation after generation of the female green grasshoppers prefer to mate with the male blue grasshoppers. In fact, the more blue the exoskeleton of the male, the sexier that male is to the green females!! What type of selection would the male blue grasshoppers be experiencing with respect to their exoskeleton color? Artificial Selection В Directional Selection (c) Stabilizing Selection Disruptive Selection

The next five questions (questions 11-15) are related to each other. Read all of the scenarios very carefully and in order
and select the correct answer.
A population of 10,000 blue grasshoppers lives on an island. Most members of the population live among the grasses
because they are not very good climbers. Some grasshoppers live in the trees because they are good climbers. One year, a
short-legged mouse arrived at the island and ate all grasshoppers within its reach, thus totally wiping out the
grasshoppers living in the grasses. Luckily, those grasshoppers that were good climbers were spared. This story is an
